View Vault contents in eDrawings
(OP)
Hi,
I use the Vault from the task pane (Right side pane). from the vault, I want to know if there is a way to open parts, assemblies & drawings in eDrawings.
Many times I dont want to open files from Vault in Solidworks.
Thanks
BT

Within SolidWorks Explorer:
I have not tried opening directly from the Vault into the eDrawings app.

RE: View Vault contents in eDrawings
But this has no full features of edrawings.
- cant see more than 1 sheet
- cant find the configurations
- cant find the edrawings toolbar
Is there a solution?
RE: View Vault contents in eDrawings
This has been a running problem with E-Drawings and the vault for some time, SW has yet to offer any type of fix for it.
